Looking back, I realised we don't have an official post about LeakyCon. Unless I missed something (likely) or it got deleted (also likely).
If you don't know what LeakyCon is, let me explain. Ohohoho let me explain. Also give me a minute so I can cackle evilly for effect.
LeakyCon is a giant Harry Potter conference that takes place every year, and has been going on for three or four years (pfft, details.) It is run by the webmistress of leaky.com, Melissa Anelli. It has panels, wizard rock (Wrock), authors, actors, and so much more. This year, Evanna Lynch (Luna), as well as the actors who played Nigel and young James Potter. The Vlogbrothers will be there, as well as the inimitable Maureen Johnson, who is running the LeakyCon Lit program, which deals with all the literary events.
Best of all, in my opinion, Figment.com will be there with a writing lounge. Figment is everyone's favourite writing site and you better check it out now.
Anyway, there are so many other things also happening that naming them would take longer than I have the energy to write out. And Lily and I are going. If you are ALSO going, please FIND US. I will be tweeting about it on the thing that you tweet on. I hope to also be blogging about it, but I don't know if that's possible.
I can hear some of you crying in the corner and saying that we shouldn't blog about it because you can't go and you'll be jealous, but I don't feel bad. This is the first, and probably last conference I will get to go to, and I want to enjoy it to the best of my ability.
On a non-related note, I'd like to do a giveaway sometime soon, but I can only do that if we have enough followers. Perhaps a bit of LeakyCon swag would tempt you?
Anywho, cheers, and DFTBA!
Love,
Vee

Adieu, Cheri Lecteurs
Dearest, Darlingest, Most Idiotic Miss Lily Evans:
You removed the permissions.
You placed unlawful claims against my loyalty to the light.
You insulted the side on which you said I belonged.
You threatened me.
You're lucky if you ever even get to LeakyCon, and if you do, I'm not sitting on the plane with you, nor am I meeting up with you anywhere.
If any souls are gone, if any lives disappear, if any Dementors are found in the vicinity, it will not be for me. I will not be gone.
-Miss Victoire Delacour Weasley

Some Screaming and an Idea
HI! It is Vee. Before I actually say things, I want to get the screaming out of the way.
LILY EVANS WHAT THE HELL IF YOU CHANGE THE FONT ONE MORE TIME I'M GOING TO CHANGE THE PASSWORD AND YOU CAN BE A GUEST BLOGGER.
I
MEAN
IT.
I will also change your name to Banana. Yes, I can do that.
Anyway, I had an idea about the giveaways. If we are certain that we have readers (that's you! Comment below to let us know!) we might actually be able to have a giveaway. I know I have A LOT of Harry Potter books, and books related to Harry Potter, and notebooks, and a bookstore, and... Yeah. BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE READERS! PLEASE! We love you. We will love you more if we know you're reading! So, please give us love? Then we might give you prizes.
Love from a very frustrated Vee

An Apology, Some Bragging, and a (short) Angry Rant
Bonjour! Vee here!
So, sorry I've been so AWOL lately, but 8th grade is INSANE. And I haven't even had a chance to throw some glitter and make it rain on 'em. Okay enough bad Ke$ha jokes (I was listening to Blow! I couldn't help it!) BUT I'VE MISSED ALL YOU READERS THAT I IMAGINE WE HAVE!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL! Um, yeah, my imagination is large.
That was the apology portion, obviously not very interesting. Now for the bragging. BE JEALOUS!
Anyway I finally got my Pottermore email, and got on Pottermore and it is fantastic and you should all be super jealous!
Yes, I lie. That was a phenomenally gigantic lie. POTTERMORE SUCKS. I can't believe I waited with bated breath to get in, crying sometimes when my hopes were raised and then dashed upon the bottom of the Black Lake. And then I got in, and I was crying for happiness. And then I was bored. Oh my God it's hardly fun at all. Yes, it's fun to get a wand (Hawthorn, 10 3/4 inches, unicorn tail hair core, unyielding.) and you can't beat getting sorted (RAVENCLAW, WOOT WOOT!) but so far, it's HARD! And more often than not, you can't even go on!
Due to overwhelming demand, you cannot access Pottermore right now.
You know what?! You can't access Pottermore right now because some of the people running it seem to be incompetent fools. Yes, I am pissed. Yes, I am bored. So, no, you shouldn't be so goshdarn excited about Pottermore (Gosh darn was going to be something stronger but I don't know who is reading this).
Now.... I had something else I wanted to say, but it has completely and utterly slipped my mind-Oh!! Right! Angry rant!
It is short.
SOMEONE CHANGED THE FONT ON THE HOMEPAGE!!!!!!! I WILL BE OUT FOR REVENGE (aka blood!) UNTIL THEY CHANGE IT BACK!!
I refuse to change it myself, since I didn't change it.
That's basically it, although we have some sad news.
Luna, our dear partner in unmanaged mischief, has been more MIA than the rest of us, so until further notice, it will only be Lily and my blog. BUT WE WANT LUNA TO KNOW WE MISS HER AND LOVE HER AND HOPE SHE COMES BACK!
That's really it.
Stay Magical!
Love,
Vee

Pottermore: The Death of Vee
As Luna and Lily will be very jealous to know (they don't know yet, they're still at camp. I got back 2 weeks before they will!) I got into Pottermore. They didn't. Unfortunate, really, and I should, I suppose, be pitying them, but I am not the kindhearted soul some of you may think I am, therefore I will not pity them.
So, if you got into Pottermore as well, you will have got this email:
Even someone less clever (and modest) than I would think, I expected my email within, at the most, six hours. I checked my email every ten minutes, my hopes growing dimmer as the hours ticked by. My email checking grew more sporadic. A watched pot never boils, so I tried not watching it. Well, not watching it for about twenty minutes. That didn't work. So, I tried checking a different email. Perhaps they sent it to the wrong email? Yeah right. Wishful thinking. How would they even know my other emails?
So, if you got into Pottermore as well, you will have got this email:
Your Pottermore account
Welcome and thank you for registering for Pottermore by J.K. Rowling - the magical new online experience based around the Harry Potter books.
A million registrants are going to be granted early entry into Pottermore to help give it the finishing touches, and the exciting news is that if you validate your account quickly, you could be one of the lucky few selected. Please be quick because places are going to be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis*.
* See the Magical Quill Terms & Conditions for full details.
Follow this link to activate your account:
(Please note that this link will expire in 48 hours, so if you don’t manage to activate it within that time, you’ll need to register again).
Once you activate your account, you will discover more about when you can access Pottermore.
So we all get incredibly excited, and wait with baited breath for the email we are sure will come quite soon. But we wait. And we wait. And the email doesn't come. And then today, I was puttering around on Twitter as usual and I saw.... this.
People are starting to get their Pottermore emails! Make sure to let us know if you receive yours! Constant vigilance!
Wait, be right back. I need to go check my email.
--5 minutes later--
No email. This is depressing me. I think I should probably just stop talking about it and thinking about it and mentioning it. Then it will come. Maybe.
From the depths of dispair,
Your Friend the Death Eater
-Victoire Gabrielle Delacour Weasley
p.s. Happy Birthday Ginevra Molly Weasley Potter!

Rant Post #1: Vic vs. Vee
Okay, we all have to rant and rave and fill up some space at some point in our lives, so I decided it was time that this blog had a space filler up-er. And okay, yes, Evans did start berating me for not posting, but that is entirely beside the point. Here we go, off on the wonderful rant roller coaster!
Lately, people have been insisting on calling me Vic! I mean, really! It just sounds so... crude! It sounds like... Vicar, or... huh. Some sort of alcoholic beverage! Or, worse yet, Nick, which sounds like Nicky, which reminds me of someone I dislike, who I shan't go talking about in the internet in case they find me. But really! It is absolutely awful! If you INSIST upon shortening Victoire, say Vee please! Or V even. Like darling Evans has learned (I can't seem to recall if I threatened her or not...). So take a leaf from Evans, or Jenna Wood, or her friend Kras (Yes, I am talking about random people who I may or may not have not met in real life) and call me Vee!
Moral of the story: If you call me Vic, you will soon have an unsuspected house call by the Dark Lord.
That's all! I really do still love all of you faithful readers though. Well, we don't have any faithful readers but WE WILL! Someday!
Luv,
Vee

Luna
We have a new member coming to our blog! She will be a co-authoress, and her name is Luna! So far, we aren't positive on details, but we hope she will post frequently. That makes me (Victoire) the only V name! I am hoping that throughout our blogging, we slowly bring in more people, until we have a whole slew of authors. I am going to make this post short and sweet, because it is late and I need to clean some pans from my cooking (My house elf has abandoned me!). About the cooking, the pierogies (little polish dumpling thingies) were delicious. Here's the recipe:
Package of \potato and onion pierogies (I got mine from Whole Foods)
1 Onion (optional)
Olive Oil
Goat cheese or sour cream (optional)
Frying pan (big!)
Follow directions on package to boil pierogies.When they are done boiling, drain them and let dry. If you are using the onion, chop it up and put it in the frying pan you are planning to use for the pierogies, along with enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan, plus some extra, and fry until browned (like, normal browned onion thing). Take out of pan and put into small bowl (well, one that will contain it). Now put the pierogies in the same pan. Even if you aren't using onion, I suggest throwing in a few pieces. Add some more olive oil (the same basic amount I said to use for the onion). Heat up the oil. Throw in the pierogies (Be careful! Sometimes the oil will get bubbly!) Fry each pierogi so that each side is slightly crisp (a little browned is PERFECT! That nice, golden-y color!) If you are using goat cheese and/or sour cream, put each in a small bowl. When the pierogies are done, put them on a plate and serve. I like mine with goat cheese spread on the top and some of those delish onions! NOM NOM NOM!!!!!
Au Revoir! Victoire OUT!!!
p.s. Victoire has become a death eater, so her posts may seem a bit psycho. Also, she would like you to know that she now sees the bright side of being a sadistic, psychopath witch with prodigious skills and no conscience. Family members can be annoying.
